SnAitou, Kov. 22. Five hundred coal
miners employed nt the Stonoboro, Jackson
Ccntro nud Cnrvor shafts struck yesterdny
for an odvonco of nino cents a ton, which is
equivalent to what is known as tho Columbus

MONONGAHELA VALLEY MINERS.
Their Condition Fast Ilrcoinlng Critical No
Work Tor Them.
SPECIAL TO THE WORLD.
PnTRBuna, Nov. 22. A number of coal
miners from tho Second and Fourth pools
were in the city yesterday searching for em
ployment. Thoy report that tho condition
of the miners is fast becoming critical, and
there is now but little expectation among tho
men of securing any work in tho banks, and
n large number aro moving awav. Thoro ore
between 7,000 and 8,000 miners in tho Monon
gahela J'alley, and during tho last three
months not more than 3,000 have secured a
fortnight's steady work. The reason of this
is that when tho river falls below a naviga.
ble stage coal cannot bo shipped, and as coal
raining is tho only business of tho Mononga
hela Valley, everything is paralyzed.
Not a coal boat has left l'lttsburg since
June 20 last. Tho drought sinco then 1ms al
lowed tho river to fall so low that no empty
craft could reach the pits. Consequently,
nearly all tho pits had to shut down. In the
neighborhood of Elizabeth tho miners appear
to be in a worso plight than at any other river
point. The shutting down of tho mines has
Btognatcd'husiuess nnd tho little stores with
which the minors dealt have been in a bad
way, because of their inability to collect any
money.

STEEL-WORKERS' SCALE ALMOST READY.
Increase of 10 Frr Cent, to be Asked For
Men and Mnnnrartuters Ftatlsflcd.
SPECIAL TO THE WORLD.
PiTTBBtJno, Nov. 22. Tho steel-workers'
new scale for 1888, which is to go into effect
on Jan. 1, isnbont ready tobe taken to the
manufacturers to be signod. It governs tho
wages of 8,000 men who belong to tho Amal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers of America. In tho scale for
1888, an increaso amounting to about 10
per cent, all around will bo asked for ; calls
lor work to be paid for by tho hour or
day, which is a movement towards doing
away with tho contract system moro thau the
one job system. Tho iron-workers' Bcale is
never signed until July 1. Tho January
scale for the steel men has been carefully re
vised, and a fixed price for wages by tho ton
nnd day has been so arranged that every
workman in a stool mill outBido of common
labor has been providod for. Thcro has
nearly always been a spocial sealo for steel,
workers, but it only embraced little more
than half the skilled work in a steel mill.
Tho first stop to thoroughly roviso tho
Btoel-workers' scale was taken at tho time of
tho trouble at tho Mingo Junction Steel Mill.
The scalo now has been so carefully made
that tho men are all satisfied with it, and tho
manufacturers have not been able to find any
great fault with it. It is so accurately gotten
up that it is impossible' for the Knights of
Labor to revise or make anything of a scale
like it. That has been the main point aimed
nt. Tho Amalgamated Association has formed
new sub-lodges in steel mills, where hereto
fore thero have been none, and whore they
have existed and wore partially or altogether
dissolved they have been reorganized ; but
o very w horo tho members hav e been all noti
fied that those who are Knights of Labor
must abandon that order by the 1st of April
next year, and in tho mean time become mem
bers of tho Amalgamated Association.

From this position, elevated above tho roBt

Mr. Howe challenged Mr. Wyman becauso
ho confessed that he believed Most desired to

Boston, Non. 22. Karly this morning
Oeorge Kvdor, of llrooklltio, nnd " Klip,
pory " llrecti, of Chicngo, together with n
chosen few, repaired to a dniico hall in this
city and there in a twenty-tw o-foot ring en.
gaged in a bare. knuckle, contest in thn en.
ilenMirto settlo tho relative morits of their
tlstio abilities.
Both men went to work rather cautiously
and in tho opening rounds of tho buttle little
real lighting was done.
In tho fourth round ono or two terriflo
blows wero interchanged nnd in thn bouts up
to thn elnenth, while thn sclonco displayed
was of high order, tho men awdded any
punishment.
Ah soon as timo was called in tho eleventh
round ltydor sprang like n tiger for lireen,
but tho "bruiser" stopped him nnd laid him
low. Tho blow did its work. Poor little
Kyder's eyes wero n sad sight.
In tho twelfth round fierce fighting com
meneed, although both men appeared fresh.
Kydcr slapped Brcen in tho face with his
left hand and ,'ao him nn upper
cut which seemed to tell. Ho stnggered
nnd fell. Uyder wns nbout to hit him when
his rocowIh cried out, "Don't George,"
while tho opposing pnrty cried " Foul, foul."
Tho referee said Kyder did not hit Urnou
when lio was down, anil tlicreforo ho could
not allow- it. After a few passes time was
called. Tho next round was one continuous
show or of blows and honors wero ensy for
both sides.
The fourteenth round was as bad as thn
previous one, Kyder getting little tho best
of it. Tho next and fifteenth round was also
in thn Brookliuo boy's fnor, but the six
teeuth round turned tho tables. Hreen
started in great shnpo, nnd gavo a
swinging loft-hander for Kyder's right
ear. Ho followed this up with a right
hand upper-cut, knocking thn llrooklltio
fenther-weight off his feet. The latter could
do nothing, iiud would havo been laid low
had not time been called. His seconds caught
him and carried him to his chair. By tho
aid of brandy and lemons they braced him up,
and when the baritone, voice of tho refereo
yelled " J'ime " ho wns on hand.
They then clinched nnd a brenkaway was
ordered, which was immediately complied
with. Another clinch followed by Kyder
being floored nnd a few punishing blows
from the bruiser from Chicago and thu
round fininhod.
Thn eighteenth .round opened in fnvor of
" Slippery." nnd Gi orgo. tho Brookliuer,
could not seem to ninko any headway. Hn
rallied, how over, and just as the round closed
wns getting in his work.
Tho next round ho followed up tho somo
tactics, a la John L. Sullivan, and it was
thought that all was up witli Breon. Hero
bets woro mode in favor of Kyder 8100 to .80
and soon 8100 to iJ70 was given. As tho
round closed tho liottiug was on Kydor, with
no takers.
In tho twentieth round both men camo up
rather groggy, but still did somo fine light
ing. This round closed with honors easv.
Tho twcnty-llrst and twenty-second rounds
wero similar, while tho twenty-fourth round
wns hot.
Tho men appeared gono, nnd it wns thought
on impossibility for them to continue. Tho
fighting appeared monotonous, and ns the
fight was to a finish they could not call it it
ll HI W.
Whon tho twenty-fifth round was opened
tho blows wero showered upon each other
nnd Kyder wns knocked against tho ropes.
Tho iirten pnrty claimed a " foul,"
but it was not allowed. That set them to
clamoring. "Oh, what robbery 1" and other
such exclamations, mingled with oaths, wero
heard by tho friends of tho Chicago man.
Neither of tho mon paid any attention to
this. Soon they clinched and broke away,
and then thn refereo stopped thorn.
" Gentlemen," said ho, " I cannot afford
to bo known in this mattor, therefore this
uoiso must bo stooped."
Tho spectators loughod in return, and tho
referee continued :
" I shall not let this fight proceed until it
isniiiet."
As tho nuilienco did not quiet down, and ns
somo sounds wero heard, it wns rumored that
the polico had got wind. Howctor, this was
not so; hut tho men were hustled, well cov
ered; into a closet, and tho spectators to an
adjoining hnll.
Later. Tho fight was resumed, and Brcen
wns finally knocked out.
